As long as natural CO₂ doesn’t surface from the deep ocean, the Southern Ocean can continue to absorb anthropogenic CO₂, a ...

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is one of the most dynamic regions of the Antarctic continent. Much of its bed lies below ...

We all know that climate change is slowly causing massive changes to our world. What you might not know is that those changes are more extensive than just rising sea levels. In fact, research has ...

The Antarctic, or Southern, Ocean is the world’s least-explored and least understood. But a team of scientists in land-locked Boulder has recently made a discovery that may lead to a better ...

A massive and surprising change is unfolding around Antarctica. Scientists have discovered that the Southern Ocean is getting saltier, and sea ice is melting at record speed, enough to match the size ...

Off the coast of Antarctica, the sea ice retreated toward the southernmost continent and, like a bottle cap taken off a soda ...

As recently as the 1990s, when the Greenland Ice Sheet and the rest of the Arctic region were measurably thawing under the ...

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

Antarctica's winter sea ice has hit its third-lowest peak in nearly half a century of satellite monitoring, researchers said Tuesday, highlighting the growing influence of climate change on the planet ...
